What The Right Gets Wrong About Religious Freedom
I have the right to follow whatever religious dictates are right for me. Nobody else can decide this. I don't have the right to tell you what you should believe or not believe and you don't have the right to tell me to to think as you do. If I wanted to pray to a Coke can, that is my right. When I was teaching school (Civics and Government) I told all my classes to bring a prayer mat the following day and we would start each class by putting the mats on the floor and face east and pray to Allah. (this was in prep for a class on religious freedom) I had plenty of high school ( I had to spell out high school ; my auto-correct kept changing hs to his) students tell me I didn't have the right to dictate what they should believe and this was a crock. The right is conceited enough to think that you should think the same as them.
It's not even religion they're forcing on us, it's purity culture.
If they wanted a nation based on "Christian values", they would be supporting universal health care, affordable housing, social safety nets, etc. The Nordic Model is probably the most Christ-like system of government there is.
But nooooo, that would be considered socialism here. Newsflash: The Cold War ended over 30 years ago. You need new terminology.
